Kate was busy preparing her children's lunch pack for them, so they could carry it to school.
She was almost done packing it, then it was time to wake them up, so they could prepare and go to school.
She went to the eldest room who is always up early but was still in bed.
She called out to her, urging her to wake up so she could help her bath and dress the youngest one while she takes care of the second child.
It was unlike her as she didn't jump up from the bed.
Kate went close and tapped her but was shocked by the hotness she felt, her child's body temperature was high.
She asked her how she was feeling and what she described matched the symptoms of the new flu.
Kate was lucky to be aware of the new flu and knew what is required.
She did the little she can quickly do for her child before she managed to prepare the other two and send them to school while she took the eldest to the hospital.
After about 2 hours,the child was placed on bed rest and was advised to stay in the hospital for the day to be monitored.
The doctor asked about the other children in the house and advised Kate to keep a close eye on time.
She promised she would, she notified the husband about them staying back at the hospital for the day and asked her to check up on the other two.
This short story is my entry to 5 minutes freewrite prompt a new flu Day 2804.
